My little bath bomb is still drying on the kitchen counter. In the meantime, I received an email from a friend who really knows how to make bath bombs. I’ve included her formula and a few tips at the bottom.
Also, if you are serious about making bath bombs, you’ll need a source. I’m planning on ordering some materials from this company called Brambleberry. I’m sure there are lots of other sources. If you know of a good one, please send it to me and I’ll put a link here.
If all this sounds too intimidating, you can just order some bombs from Lush.
Bath Bomb
DRY INGREDIENTS:
4 TBSP baking soda
1 TBSP corn starch
1 TBSP goatsmilk powder (or omit and use 2 TBSP corn starch)
just over 1 TBSP of epsom salts
WET INGREDIENTS
1 tsp meadowfoam oil
approx 1 tsp liquid shea
a touch of water
a few drops of fragrance oil and color if desired
ADD AT THE END
2 TBSP citric acid
Here are the notes:
Epsom salts are for softening
Like when baking, it’s best to mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately

Anna,
Martha Stewart’s website has a great recipe and sources for all of the ingredients including the molds….
Have a nice day!!!
That sounds super fun. Also sounds like a great science experiment for the kids! : )
Brambleberry is a great source. My girls and I made bath bombs last summer. They are so much fun!! Not sure how commercial companies get them so smooth.
Hi, I have been having trouble finding citric acid do you know where I can get some
Hi Ryan,
Your best bet is to just order it on line from Brambleberry.
Good luck!
There’s a Canadian source for all the items you need for making bath bombs or fizzies. http://www.canwax.com they have citric acid, bicarb and all sizes of molds and shapes, hope this helps.
